And you consider how young this team is right now. So that's an impressive stat, I'm all in, I might not want to gut the roster for a Chychrun trade, but I am definitely on the improve the defense front.

Isn't crazy how much fun you can have, when you have a development minded coach, who lets his players go out and figure it out. Granato is the first coach since Lindy left where you're just thankful. In addition, the speed, and the skill. When you have a player like Krebs on the fourth line, and he's now cemented his place, in the line up, you just know things are coming. The defense is slowly working it's way out. I'd still look to upgrade Bryson and potentially Joker, but for now it's "okay".

Huge road win, sets the tone for the start of the road trip. Let's f***ing go. Push, push, push. Tage drawing that in, leaving Powerrrrrr Rangerrrr open, and he delivers.

If Thompson would have buried that, I would have lost my mind. haha.

Truly our best defense is our offense at the moment. That was such a great passing play.

The best player on the team is Rasmus Dahlin, by leaps and bounds. His ability to lead the break, to settle things down and to create, distribute and defend all are elite. Yes he still has some lapses, but everyone does.

Really solid, and they didn't give up any crap. A really solid period indeed.

Pass on any deal with Kulich in it.

Get it done!

Great win, it was a sloppy third, but they fought through it.

Okay, i guess.

If Demko is a realistic acquisition, that's the area for me. However, letting UPL play is also fine by me.

Giant bag of meh, is he talented, sure. However, his injury risk and concern's are there and prevalent. I wouldn't touch this one.

Krebs needs to be playing in the upper third of the line up. Albeit at the downgrade to Mittelstadt to me who plays more of a third line checking forward game with the ability to chip in. We definitely do not have a shut down center. I wanted Sturm this offseason so badly, because he would have been worth the 2M dollar check he cashed in SJ.

Casey Mittelstadt. Henri Jokiharju and Anders Bjork to Columbus for Andrew Peeke, Jack Roslovic and a 3rd or 4th. Peeke is a right handed shot defensemen, how similarly to Samuelsson, is a big boy. He's got some skating ability, and limited offensive upside. Roslovic is a player recently healhty scratch recently, still in his mid 20's who can play a bit up and down the line up. For me this is acquiring Peeke, and still getting some value for Joker, who needs to be replaced. I think it's realistic and possibly a fair enough deal .

That's Emil Berglund, based on their roster page. I believe.

He's a great choice, I wonder if they sign him to a few years at a much lower cap hit with the C put on him. It's amazing it's already been 7 years.

My predicter is 14 goals, 52 assists.

Absolutely, he's by far my favorite Sabre. I like Krebs, Tuch and Cozens. However, for me, it's Dahlin!

I plan on getting a Dahlin and a Krebs.

Stud. All that I need to say.

Dvorsky please!

Great insight here, and I agree. I really loved Rossi's prospect and play style, coming into the draft, but I've had to bite down hard that I was completely wrong on Quinn being even a slight reach. He's proven his value, with the only "slight" knock being some of his injury track record.

Good luck Arttu! Thanks for your work ethic in Rochester!

I'd be willing to take on a hard line defensive center like Jason Dickinson from Vancouver for a pick added on. Someone who can alleviate, but actually can do more than what Eakin did. He's had a season and a half of disappointment in Vancouver, but he looked promising in Dallas before that trade. He's making 2.6 over the next few seasons.
